What is Overwatch League?

The Overwatch League is the tentative league of the game Overwatch, run by its developer, Blizzard. The league plans to create a global league by selling spots in various regions in the world as representatives of a city of that region.

Blizzard announced the league at BlizzCon in November with the league starting “sometime in 2017.” Teams will be tied to cities, like they are in traditional sports leagues, and Blizzard is accepting bids for teams in each city. Details have since been sparse, but some media reports have estimated a spot in the Overwatch League could cost at least $2 million.
